Hey Josh-
I am here! The plane was (surprisingly) early. I got here about 20 minutes ahead of time, they didn't lose my suitcase and I caught a cab the minute I stepped outside the terminal. I am amazed!! I thought I'd give you an email real quick and tell you that I am "home and dry" here at the hotel. I'll see you at 2 pm.

Bill: Thank you! Thank You very much!
Bellhop: Not a problem sir. Thank you for staying at the Marriott Courtyard.
Bill-
I am running a little late and short on luck today. I'm gonna be in the studio here for another two hours finishing up, then I'll come over right away. Jran also had requested meeting you as well and he will be done a little later than I will be so I'll have him meet us at the hotel as soon as he's done. I am sorry about the delay and I can't wait to see you.

"OK....I'll just chill and watch some television", Bill said as he laid down on the bed and grabbed the remote. As he flicked through the channels, Bill's eyes began to close, heavy from the already busy day he had. A moment later, or what seemed to be a moment later, Bill was startled from his sleep by a knocking at the door. Bill stretched and got out of bed, straightening his shirt and running a hand through his slightly spiky blond hair.
"Just a minute!", Bill said and then laughed as he spoke aloud from Poe's poem, "So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door,
Some LATE visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door.
This it is, and nothing more.
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said I, "or madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is, I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you." Here I opened wide the door;---
Darkness there, and nothing more."
Bill: Jeez...I'm coming!
Hello? Josh?!?
Josh: Quoth the raven...nevermore!
Bill: Josh.....oh my! Hello.?
Josh: Hi Bill....I'm sorry I am late...oh my....you didn't know who I was...Justin never told you?? Are you OK?? Bill? Hello? <waving a hand in front of Bill's face> Are you there??
Bill: I'm fine...just letting all the pieces fall into place.
Josh: What?
Bill: I would have never made any money as a sleuth....you dropped me a ton of clues about who you were and I never guessed at it. Not that it makes much difference...I probably know you better for not knowing who you really were.
Josh: Yeah...you probably do. I can trust that what you know about me is between us and the guys?
Bill: Of course. So....Justin and Joe...er rather Joey and Chris know...so that makes the one who is the problem to be...
Josh: Lance. Yeah.
Bill: Its no wonder you kept choking when I told you about how I use him in my stories. HEHEHE...oh dear!
Josh: hehehe...yeah. By the way, I read that story last night. Wow....it...uh....it was...it was really...
Bill: Dark?
Josh: Disturbing too!
Bill: Did you throw up?
Josh: No....tho I think Lance might if he ever reads it. Hehehe
Bill: I am sure. I can't imagine he's a fan of my fiction...tho I do have a lot of "lance posers" that email me about my stories.
Josh: Yeah...I can imagine. So...your flight down was good, huh?
Bill: Yeah....I was impressed...for a hundred and some small change, it was a pretty good service.
Josh: So what do you think?
Bill: Well...about you and this?
Josh nods.
Bill: I think that you have as much right to love who ever the hell you want to as anyone else on this planet, fame or no fame. I think that your friends should support you whether it be girls or boys or sheep that you try to hook up with...that's what friends are all about...they're there for you. And if Lance is being obstinate about this whole thing...then another friend of yours, namely me, will take him for a little walk and try to talk to him. I'm quite persuasive, you know.
Josh: I am sure you are....no rough stuff, tho
Josh...would I do anything like that...?
Josh: Yeah...I read your stories...even the BSB ones...Yeah...you would!
Bill: OK....Color me embarrassed. Lemme go to the bathroom and straighten up....I fell asleep waiting for you.
Josh: I'm sorry I was late.
Bill: Oh..no...that's not what I meant...er...well...you know what I mean, right? I just fell asleep....I was kinda bushed from the plane ride.
Josh: YEAH...I know...I was just kidding with you.
------------Ten Minutes Later-----------
Bill: OK...That's more like it. I feel much better now.
Josh: Cool. So what makes you think of moving here?
Bill: Well...after the whole of January..with that 20 inches of snow and ice...ICK!
Josh: Yeah....I can see your point there....that was bad...it got cold here too...it got down to 50 degrees
Bill: Oh...50 degrees...however did you manage it? It was 3 degrees in NC. Brrrrr! I never wanna see another winter again. I am really a summer boy at heart!
Josh: Oh I bet! Mr. Swimsuit is here. I can see you as a beach boy
Bill: Naah....I haven't done a day at the beach for 3 years....my friend and I went to Miami and stayed out all night and then went walking on the beach at sunrise....God it was beautiful.....then I passed out from exhaustion on the beach and damn near fried myself before noon. I was SO sunburnt!! Jeez!
JC: YOU FELL ASLEEP ON THE BEACH?
Bill: That's nothing....when I was in college I took spring break in Fort Lauderdale...I went to the beach and bought what I thought was suntan lotion...it turned out to be sun accelerator lotion....I walked up and down the beach for about two hours....I was SO sunburnt that I passed out for almost 2 days....all I remember is my roommate spraying me with solarcaine.
JC : STOP....please! Tell me your kidding....oh God....you're serious! HAHAHA!!
Bill: Just a minute! Hang on!
Bill: Hi guys...c'mon in! Josh...look! The gangs all here!
